Description

The main GNOME desktop shell, providing the overview, top bar, app launching, window switching, notifications, search, and core interactive desktop experience. It is the visible layer most users think of as GNOME.

Keep it installed if you use the standard GNOME session. Shell extensions can change behavior deeply, so install extensions selectively and keep them compatible with your GNOME version.
